About Kombucha

Kombucha has been brewed in homes for centuries if not
millenia. Starting with a pot of sweet tea, a SCOBY
(symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) is added to the
brew and left alone for a week. The resulting tangy sweet
beverage delights the senses and the living nutrition
invigorates the body.
